BlackBerry N-Series QWERTY Shows Up Without Navigation and Menu Buttons

Here comes another live photos of the new blackberry phones. The one in which will be released in full touch screen and another one will be released in QWERTY keyboard.

Only a few days after its touchscreen sibling made a couple of appearances, RIM's BlackBerry N-Series smartphone emerged in a duo of live photos. The soon to be revealed BlackBerry 10 smartphone packs a hardware QWERTY keyboard in addition to its capacitive touchscreen.

As you can see in the photos above, the BlackBerry N-Series looks a lot like the currently offered Bold 9900, save for the lack of navigation and menu buttons, which have given way to a larger screen. The QWERTY appears to be unsurprisingly well-made and comfortable, so the BlackBerry purists should have a good reason to look forward to the device.

The BlackBerry N-Series is all but certain to launch alongside the BlackBerry Z10 on January 30 in New York City. We will update you should we hear more about the upcoming device. So let't wait for the price then.

The Launching Date of Blackberry 10 has been Confirmed

This is a great news for the Blackberry fans out there. During these months after getting delayed, RIM's BlackBerry 10 platform finally has a launch date set. On January 30, RIM will hold multiple events across the world simultaneously where it will launch both the OS and the first the BlackBerry phones to use it.

The BB 10 OS will hit the ground running - it will launch with "a large catalog of the leading applications from across the globe and across all categories" and a FIPS 140-2 certification (which means that government agencies can switch to BB 10 right away and count on security). You can read more about FIPS 140-2 over here.

During the event, RIM will give details on the two launch phones and their availability. We've most likely seen them already - the touchscreen operated L-series and the more traditional QWERTY-packing N-Series. Then there's the rumored BlackBerry 10 Aristo device with a quad-core Krait and a 4.65" AMOLED 720p display.

RIM's press release didn’t say anything about the first two BlackBerry 10 phones, so the Aristo remains in the rumor mill for now, but the company did say that the phones are being tested by 50 carriers (with more on the way), pointing to a wide launch.

For me myself i can't wait to see the Blackberry 10's releasing as well. It seems pity to know that Blackberry is not active as other smartphone brand did.

iPhone 5S Trial Production is Planned on the Next Month

We all know that the best phone so far which is iPhone 5 just been released on the market. People are also still tasting the device on their hands not so long. But the news is already reached us that the next 5s is already begun to be on the trial production.

A story coming from the Commercial Times is suggesting that Apple have no intention of resting on their laurels when it comes to updating and upgrading their iPhone hardware and could be planning on initiating a trial production run of iPhone 5S handsets as early as next month. It seems nothing short of madness to suggest that the Cupertino based company could be even contemplating pushing out a new iPhone so soon after the successful release of the current model iPhone 5, but as far-fetched as the report may seem on the surface it does actually raise a few intriguing points that could add some fuel to this one. The publication is making reference to the fact that Apple have been facing low yield rates for certain components that are included in the iPhone 5 and could therefore take action to accelerate the launch of its successor.

Any devices that are born from a trial production run taking place toward the end of this year wouldn’t make it in the hands of the public, but it is also being speculated that should an initial trial prove successful, Apple could be looking to put the iPhone 5S into mass production in the first quarter of 2013. Apple’s current iPhone 5 is the sixth-generation smartphone to come from the fruit company, with all previous releases either following or going beyond a twelve month release schedule. Given previous release history it seems highly unlikely that we will be seeing a new iPhone in the next few months.

Until we hear anything additional or concrete from reliable and tested sources then I think it is safe to assume that the current iPhone 5 will see us through until at least September/October of 2013. However, when that time does arrive it will be extremely interesting to see whether or not Apple will go down the route of releasing a totally revamped handset or do actually make incremental updates and push out an iPhone 5S.

So, from this we can see as we wait for the 5s or buying this iPhone 5 in which we know that there are many things should be fixed inside the phone already.

Intel Seems Working on Future Mobile Devices Using 48-Core Processors

Nokia only recently claimed single -ore processors were all that was needed to power today’s smartphones, though thanks to market pressure, compromised in bringing a dual-core chip to the Lumia 920. Look at the entire smartphone and tablet market, and you’ll notice each vendor is following a similar motif in adding more cores as a form of natural progression. However, if you thought the Galaxy S III was a bit of a powerhouse with its quad-core Exynos processor, wait until you get a load of what Intel is cooking up.

The company, which is by far the foremost manufacturer of processors in the world of computing, is looking to build an incredible 48-core processor for smartphones and tablets. Considering the speed of the iPhone 5, for example, which runs on a dual-core A6 chip, a 48 core chip should be one notch slower than telepathy, right?

Well in actual fact, while the core count is certainly a useful component in determining the overall speed of a device, it’s certainly not the end-all, be-all. In a similar manner to which the number of megapixels is used to monopolize smartphone cameras, many consumers are led to believe that a device with more cores than another is, by and large, a more efficient one.

Cores serve to chop up big tasks into digestible chunks, so the more cores you have, the more chunks can be dealt with without lagging up the device. Thus, if you have 48 cores, than number of complicated tasks could occur at the same time. Before you all get excited, though, the experts have already waded in and insisted the technology is a decade off reaching our prized mobile assets.

Undeterred by the claims of a ten-year wait, however, Intel’s chief technology officer believes 48-core processors could make an appearance long before then, and seems pretty enthusiastic about his company’s progress. Speaking with Computerworld, he noted:

I think the desire to move to more natural interfaces to make the interaction much more human-like is really going to drive the computational requirements. Having large numbers of cores to generate very high performance levels is the most energy efficient way to deliver those performance levels.

Suddenly, my dual-core smartphone feels decidedly slow.
